Creating PROJECTS with windows movie maker

Last week, some colleagues of mine asked for help. They wanted to learn how to use windows movie maker to create projects I´ve been sharing in our edmodo group.

After a quick workshop last Friday, one of them suggested I make a tutorial so that more teachers would learn how to use it. Well, windows movie maker can be found at most windows based computers, if you don´t have one it can be downloaded from the internet.

This is a simple tutorial I`ve made showing how to add images, audio, titles, etc. http://www.utipu.com/app/tip/id/25122
Just below you´ll find some example videos I´ve created to use with my students.

Example videos:

- Types of films : for presentation and practice

- Video Quiz: films based on novels

- Dialogue: Eating out - students created dialogues, recorded their roleplay and teacher added the images.

- Daily routine: students mime actions. We used the video for practice.

- Past Grammar Tenses: students created sentences and drawing.

- Phrasal Verbs: students created pictures for sentences from an exercise and were recorded reading the sentences.
